The product, in the report: [REDACTED] It’s a Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD UPS. The URL above is the product. This is the product datasheet from Cyberpower: [REDACTED]
A Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) began to spark/arc then caught fire. The UPS was supplying power to a desktop PC (i.e. mains power was on, it was not supplying power via the battery) . My wife was at home when the fire occurred. She unplugged the UPS and carried it outside. Injuries were avoided. Obviously a UPS catching fire presents a serious risk to life and property. Searching online suggests this is a known issue based on the “glue” used to secure components: [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
The UPS carries a 3 year warranty but that’s of little use when the product comes with a known risk of catching fire. This UPS caught fire on day 494. Several online reports of fires in a Cyberpower UPS have dates ranging from recently to over a year ago. If the yellow glue in these units is faulty I’d expect to hear about a recall or replacement/refund program.

The product, in the report: CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS Series. It is black and the dimensions are 3.9 x 9.7 x 10.2 (in).
I had a CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD. It displayed an overload error so I called the company and they recommended replacing the battery. A few weeks later I replaced the battery and turned the unit back on. After a few minutes the unit started making odd noises and switching to battery power. I called the company and they stated that it was normal operation. About 20 minutes later smoke started coming from the unit. I quickly took it outside and turned it off. I called the company again and they stated that some part inside was probably to blame.
Report Update: The incident could have resulted in property damage due to the smoke being emitted by the item. Additionally, a fire could have been started within the home. Bodily damage could have occurred through burns or smoke inhalation. The smoke coming from the device had a distinct plastic and chemical smell.
